its a good feeling to realise that what once brought me down so far that i thought i'd never be normal again has made me so much stronger than ever before. what once almost killed me is now giving me hope and making me see that each day is truely a gift. although i will forever have permanent reminders etched in my skin and memories burnt into my brain, i'm beginning to accept what happened and move forward. i will always feel a terrible amount of guilt to the people who got hurt by this, but instead of letting it control my life in the worst way, i now have a totally different outlook on life. i'm finally ready to let go.
